Stampin’ Up! Two Merriest Trees Christmas Cards

Hello fellow stampers! I’ve been doing family things for several days – too much FUN – and did not put in time for blogging. My apologies! Now I’m working on the last of my Christmas cards and because I had a piece of the Holographic SDSP already on my desk, that inspired me. I mixed it with Silver (& Gold) Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper, O Holy Night DSP and a few other Stampin’ Up! goodies.

Stampin' Up! 1st card Merriest Trees
Stampin' Up! 2nd card Merriest Trees

Can you see what I did here? I used the Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper and the Christmas Classic Dies to die cut the fancy ‘frame’, then used the Holographic SDSP to die cut the tree with the medium size tree in Merriest Trees Dies. The Holographic SDSP was added with dimensionals to the silver ‘frame’ and a star in Basic White was added with a glue dot. I placed a medium size Rhinestone Basic Jewel in the center of the star. I peeled off the backing on the fancy silver ‘frame’ and adhered it to the Oh Holy Night DSP. This was attached to a slightly larger piece of Basic White then added to the Night of Navy card base with dimensionals. Simplicity and gorgeousness.

On the 2nd card I used the ‘negative’ of the silver ‘frame’ from card 1 & added it to a Night of Navy card base, die cut another ‘frame’ in Basic White and added it with liquid glue, slipping it in all the appropriate places. I die cut another piece from the Silver (& Gold) Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper and added the die cut tree from the Holographic SDSP with dimensionals. I added a gold Adhesive-Backed Star Trinket to this tree :O) I thought this second card needed a sentiment, so die cut a banner using the Christmas Classics Dies and added the sentiment in Night of Navy ink and the Merriest Trees stamp set. This banner was added with dimensionals and two Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots were attached for additional glam.

Stampin' Up! Card 2 Merriest Trees, inside

There is little difference between these two inside panels: card 1 is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink from Brightest Glow stamp set (I love this font!!!); card 2 is stamped in Night of Navy ink, also from the Brightest Glow stamp set. The stars on the two cards are slightly different as well… card 1 is in silver foil with a Rhinestone Basic Jewel in the center; card 2 is also from Silver foil, but no rhinestone is added. Both are on Basic White card stock.

Stampin' Up! Card 2 Merriest Trees card & envelope

On the envelopes I used O Holy Night DSP for the flaps and stamped different sentiments on each: card 1 in Misty Moonlight ink – Brightest Glow stamp set; card 2 in Night of Navy ink – Merriest Trees stamp set. Love being able to use the ‘negatives’ to create a second card! Do you have a favorite? I do, just not going to tell :O)

Stampin’ Up! Saint Nicholas Cards

Good Saturday! What are YOU up to these days? Thanksgiving is next week; Christmas is right around the corner… I counted my Christmas Cards yesterday and realized I must “get hot” as I don’t have nearly enough – :O(. Here are two cards using Saint Nicholas Dies and showing off the DSP two sides. I’ll be curious if you prefer one over the other.

Stampin' Up! Saint Nicholas Dies
Stampin' Up! Saint Nicholas Dies, card 2

Card 1 uses Mossy Meadow card stock for the base and Shining Christmas SDSP (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE DSP) plus the fun Burlap Ribbon (from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack.) St. Nick is die cut from the fabulous Traditions of St. Nick DSP using the Saint Nicholas Dies. I added three Festive Pearls under the Saint Nicholas stamp set sentiment.

Card 2 uses the Traditions of St. Nick DSP, Thick Basic White card stock for the card base, an embossed panel suing the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, the Large Check Ribbon, Stylish Shaped Dies circle and a sentiment from Wishes All Around stamp set, and of course a different St Nick directly die cut from the Traditions of St. Nick DSP. I also added three Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins in white that are difficult to see in this photo.

Here are the insides of these two cards… look at the wonderful DSP!Each of the ‘add-ons’ on the Basic White panel are from the Traditions of St. Nick DSP: the tree are fussy cut and adhered in place with liquid glue; St Nick was die cut from an edge and also added with liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Saint Nicholas card 1, card & envelope
Stampin' Up! Saint Nicholas card 2, card & envelope

As you can see… coordinating DSP on the envelope flaps; a sentiment stamped from the Saint Nicholas stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on card 1; on card 2 another fussy ct tree from the Traditions of St. Nick DSP. Same layout for both, yet very different.
